The humor in the game appears to be self-referential and absurd, with some players suggesting that the developers may be mocking those who buy the game, as evidenced by a config file filled with the nonsensical phrase "pepe head." This suggests a playful, albeit potentially off-putting, approach to humor that may not resonate with all players.
“I am wondering whether the dev is aware of all this and is just laughing at anyone silly enough to purchase it - in the game folder, there is a config file which I went to hoping to tweak the settings, but inside it is just the repeated words 'pepe head'.”
